Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis Durbe 2021

[ame]

it's raining again (still)
14:01 a lot of blue tit's voices very near.
14:02 one blue tit on the left branch.

[ame]

14:06 a little brownish-grey bird on the nest. a willow warbler? or a chiffchaff?
it's impossible to say because the bird said nothing.

[ame]

15:11:00 wild boar voices?
30 s later more?
15:17:50 more.
15:18:10 more.

[ame]

i think i heard a feather ruffle a while ago...? yes:
15:21 someone ruffled feathers upstairs.


15:27:35 an eagle flew over the nest tree to the direction of the swan pond. a feather seemed to be missing from the left wing. Mr L?




when did the eagle fly there?
edit: so far i have not been able to find out when the eagle flew to the top. i searched starting fro 14:11. i didn't watch every second but listened.

[Susanne]

15:41: Presumably Eurasian Blackcap -Sylvia atricapilla- (female)

[ame]

Susanne, do you think so?! wow!
i didn't see the cap. i only saw a little grey bird before my recording went bad.
15:40 a cone dropped from the top.


15:46 a blackbird came to sing on the nest.
15:47 two blackbirds!
one flew away and the other went to the top.


the blackbird continued singing on the top for a while before flying away.

[Susanne]

Hello ame, yes, I am quite sure. I was prepared for a willow warbler or a tree creeper, and had just looked them up a few seconds before that birdie came - and wooosh! there was this brown cap! The German name is "Mönchsgrasmücke", and the first part "Mönchs-" refers to the cap which resembles a monk's tonsure. The second and third parts refer to 'gras, Middle High German: also gra*, and MHG "smiegen" which means: to glide, to slip" - probably refering to the kind of agile movements.

[ame]

they were both there, both the female and the male!
i combined several of their pictures in one larger picture. the Mrs (pink ellipses) was on the nest more than the Mr (in the light blue ellipse).


i had to record the visit later from the screen and therefore the quality of the picture is not very good.


i had a very bad reception for about 40 min. two computers and two routers weren't enough. i think i'll have to try another internet provider for the other router.

edit: the female was here already in the morning. Sonchik found her later.
i put a video of her here:

18:22 a little brownish-grey bird visited. this could be a chaffinch but it's impossible to know for sure. anyway, after a short while after the bird had flown away a willow warbler sang nearby, so it's more likely that it was a willow warbler after all. these two birds look quite like each other (at "our" distance anyway). the songs are different.


18:51 two crested tit s visited. thank you mega2!

[ame]

20:26 a little brownish-grey bird visited.

[Sonchik]

At 21: 39, the blackbird is on the right.

[ame]

Zdá se mi, že orel přistál na vršek jedle v 15:01:22

GT'ed:
"It seems to me that the eagle landed on top of the fir tree at 15:01:22 "
so it seems to be! - or rather: sounds to be. that eagle flew to the top quite out of sight.
thank you l-steigrova59!

[ame]

At 21: 39, the blackbird is on the right.

thank you Sonchik!
both a blackbird and a chaffinch were singing nearby. the blackbird who came in sight was not the bird who sang.

[Sonchik]

At 10:52-10:53, the bird is in the nest.

June 13

good morning!

it's windy and cloudy but not raining at the moment.

thank you Sonchik! the bird at 10:52 was the female blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) with her brown cap. so she was here also earlier in the day. in the afternoon she brought her husband with her.
i added the video here:

the night was very quiet. only some rustling happened under the nest twice. i don't think it is anyone big. it may be just an insect walking across the surface of the microphone.
1:11

[ame]

2:31 more rustling.


at about 3:15 the birds began to sing. it was still rather dark, only the dark blue light had started to become stronger.
after daylight came also the wind started in gusts.

[ame]

after the dull-looking early morning it became sunny, but it's still windy.

[ame]

someone has come home.
10:57 an eagle flew over the meadow and landed on the nest.


the eagle lay down on the nest.

[ame]

the light is bad for pictures.

11:30 the stranger worked with nest materials.

[ame]

11:37 the eagle got up to work with stick. i don't think this is one of our eagles. this one has too much dark on the tail.


11:38 the eagle pooped overboard. good manners.
